Ree Drummond makes her autumnal version of mulled wine using natural non-alcoholic cider (unfiltered apple juice), orange peel, sweet and tart apples, fresh cranberries, aromatic spices, and a splash of apple brandy. The drink is warming, aromatic, and delicious, like autumn. What else do you need after a long day of apple picking in the orchard?!

• 4 liters of natural non-alcoholic apple cider (unfiltered apple juice)
• 3 Granny Smith apples
• 1 orange
• 0.5 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 tbsp allspice peas
